I just searched though my old email receipts and ws suprized to find that I spent frickin' 125 bucks for Six Feet Under Complete Series..I could have sworn I came out better than that back in 2007 (around 99 bucks, I thought) but the Best Buy email doesn't lie.

Oh, well...

The biggest single movie purchase was the Korean 3- disk Ultimate Edition of Le Grand Bleu (The Big Blue) on ebay...40 bucks

Would be the Alien head set and the Predator head set. It was a lot all together, though I can't exactly remember how much I spent...probably better for my sanity that way. Managed to get the Complete Matrix set with the Reeves bust for $20 at Amazon one day though, so that was kinda nice. Knowing my own silly self I will probably get the new T2 bust as well

I told a lie actually. I forgot that back in the early days of DVD I paid £60 for the eight-disc Nightmare on Elm Street Collection. Had to pay a bit more to avoid the import duty, but it was still cheap considering what was in the box and how relatively expensive DVDs were back then.

Those Criterions discs are not cheap but it's the only time i fork out for the more expensive discs. The HD-DVD version of Star Trek original series would make a nice present because the asking price for that is effing vertical.

Mine's not that high really, probably £30-£40, which I think was for the first release of the Alien Legacy back in the day. Pretty much every other major boxed set has been a present (Star Wars trilogy, Ultimate Matrix, Indy trilogy, Ultimate Superman, Alien Quad) and some of the lesser ones I got for less than £15 in sales (the most recent Back to the Future and Jurassic Park sets). Not a big collector of fancy packaging or TV series.

If you added up all the money I've spent on individual releases of Star Wars and the Matrix films it'd be a bit. Also Park Chan-wook's films, with multiple versions of each and such. I don't do that any more though; I'm a lot more selective and careful with my money. Even my OOP editions of the original Korean Oldboy DVD and the uncut Dutch Ichi the Killer were fairly cheap.
